 Sunken Propeller at Sea Aquarium Good evening friends, we had such a busy day today!! My friends from the States have asked about the economy here and as far as I can tell we seem to be fairly unaffected by it. I have heard that a few resorts around the island were struggling and that some of the new big resorts that are being built have slowed construction but other than that all seems well and busy! We were again as full today as we could be and even had programs today at 4:00, I have only seen that a few times.
Here’s a shot from out on our reef here at the Aquarium. This is a giant propeller that is now resting on the ocean floor at around 30 feet and is home to countless creatures! We have two seahorses that are still living here around this big prop and I heard today someone found a mantis shrimp somewhere here today as well. This morning there was supposed to be a dolphin dive around the area of this prop but super strong current put an end to that!! I was at the aquarium this morning taking photos of a dolphin swim when I watched as a dive boat pulled up outside on our reef and unloaded divers into the current. The divers were supposed to swim to the area of this propeller and meet George and our dolphin Annie but the second they jumped in, before they could even go under they were being taken away by the current, it’s nasty stuff folks! Most of the divers that come here for a vacation have never been in current and it catches them completely off guard and many of them panic! Tomorrow I will be back at Pen Resort all day photographing the reef again, if anyone wants to help or join please give me a call (661-5795) I always need extra help!
That’s about it, Aimee just got home, it’s 8:30 she was helping do something with the whale again while I took the dogs on a nice long walk! See ya, Barry
